Which Books Can I Bring Myself to Part From?

So many books. I think I'm going to leave 95% of my fiction with my parents; I won't have time to read a lot of it. But what non-fiction do I bring with? Does the giant Marilyn Stokstad art history tome come with? It's wonderful reference, but will I use it? What about my equally weighty Kenkyusha Japanese-English dictionary? I absolutely plan to get back to learning Japanese, but not 'till I get conversationally fluent in Spanish. Which of my history monographs will I want access to? What about all of my (and my grandfather's) collection of books on blacksmithing and art metal? It makes me sad that I do so little smith work these days, because doing so makes me feel connected to him.
